What does MM2 look like with ReShade?

[The_Most_Wanted]

Link and screenshots fixed!

This is very interesting, I'm going to try it. The game looks very nice from those screenshots, like if it has been edited with Photoshop and such.
Nice work!

[BUGATTIMAN253MPH]

None of these seem to make any difference. I tried the WatchDog tonemap and it still looks like MM2...

To get those graphics you have to select many settings like I did.

Awesome
What other settings are there? And do I see ASCII?

[BUGATTIMAN253MPH]

To get those graphics you have to select many settings like I did.

I've selected those settings but in my game it looks no different besides jittering on the wheels

Does dgvoodo, and the other two programs have to be open when playing MM2 for it to work?

Did you hit Apply button?

Did you hit Apply button?

Yep.

There is something very important that you should see the ReShape logo at the loading screen and that means you have done the steps right.

[BUGATTIMAN253MPH]

The stuff does show on the top left of the screen but none of the shaders take effect.

EDIT: I tried another car and the game minimized after loading, shortly MM2 crashed.

Ok try to add mm2 to this ReShade version and tell me what you got.

[BUGATTIMAN253MPH]

I got it working! I'll send pics tomorrow, right now I gotta rest.
